April 10, 2018 |A weekly publication of the National Speech & Debate Association
Dear Coach,
This week, we share reminders and an opportunity for your students to build their skills while traveling the world. Plus, don't miss your last chance to take our survey and be entered to win giveaways!
USA Debate Team
We are now accepting applications for the 2018-2019 USA Debate Team. Get your pens ready! Before they can complete their application, students must collect signatures from their Coach/Advisor as well as from their Parent/Guardian and Principal/Administrator.
There are only two days left to complete a short survey to receive $25* toward your next team fundraiser on Edco. The survey closes tomorrow, April 11!
Time is running out and every bit helps when you're fundraising for Nationals, summer camps, or trying to get a head start on next year's expenses. Every speech and debate team will be able to use the results to make the job of gaining support easier and more effective.
*Anyone who fills out the survey and creates (or already has) an Edco account before June 30, 2018, will earn a $25 credit on the first $500 they raise. Not sure how to set up an account? Click here!
Polls are Open: Vote by April 25!
Board of Directors »Voting is now open for the Board of Directors election, which will select four directors to serve a four-year term and establish an order for alternates. Each school shall vote for up to four candidates. Please note that each active school chapter will count as one vote. This is a change from the strength-based voting system of the past.
